That shit is sweet! I wish I would have thought of that!

Whoever owns that surfboard gojo combo needs to step up - come on, don't be shy. I'll even relinquish the title of "gojo pimp" to you.

Frankly, i'm surprised at the lack of comment. Maybe i should rename the subject to

1) Awesomer than awesome!!!!!!

Or

2) My Head Just Exploded!1!!!1!

While I had thought it would be great if someone accomplished this feat, it was mere theory and speculation. To stumble upon this gem while researching skim boards is just priceless.

i don't get the negativity to the gojoe thing. I think they are kind of kooky, but i think that if it makes someone more comfortable in the water then go for it. hopefully it keeps the new folks using them from trying to ride w/ a leash

Agree Rich. The owner of the board in the pic was just tired of finding his ride and the wheelbarrow inner-tube retro works.

When your blue or black board is flipped upside down and you are body dragging up and down the river in swell and nuking wind boosting 10 feet up looking like a spinning puppet just to try and see your board the Gay-Joe makes sense. Too bad it looks like your riding with a fluorescent dong.

With the river flow right now shit gets away from you fast so losing your $500 board is bad enough but the ball pounding you take to get back to the Spit from above Wells is the ultimate body drag of shame because you've already spent an hour + looking for your damn board. Ahhh.....the pain we endure just to be part of the "cool crowd".

I hear the new 2011 Go-Joe prototype has good safety feedback from Rick Iossi.

I think that strapless board turned around in shame and is trying to pretend like the gojoe isn't there.

Sella, you have stumbled accross the 2011 prototype of the GoHoe. It will be released towards the end of this season. I have been on the waiting list for six months. If you want one I suggest you sign up pretty soon or you will have a long wait.

The GoHoe will have limited distribution - a test run.

Do you remember the post about the $500 slingshot bar and the discussion of handjobs. Well . . . let me just say - this gohoe will more than make up for its costs (unlike the $500 control bar).

I'll be the guy rocking the go hoe!!

I have seen this guy out at Waddell and HMB. IMO, if you can't drag to your board, you should not be out in the waves. Not to mention that the GoJoe is a hindrance in waves because the smallest wave will take that board all the way back to the beach.

Monk I'm just saying I hate body dragging for shit I can't see...and when we ride Lyle we are going to use my Go-Hoe like a raft and paddle that bitch from the Sacajawea refugee camp parking lot to the sandbar. You ride up front. Very Happy

You must be waiting for the Go Ken RR version to roll out.
